  21. i think that i shall never see
    an organic jewel lovely as a tree
    a tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
    against Makati's hard , concrete breast
    cities are made by fools like men
    but only God can make a tree

  22. wish that the historic Pasig would also be cleaned-up and transformed into a aesthetically and environmentally useful urban element
    instead of just playing its role as an open sewer...a blight on the metropolis
    my suggestion would be to plant bamboo groves along its entire length...as depicted on lithographs of old

    albeit with snobbish appeal

    ROCKIN ' ROCKWELL

  24. Yeah, malls are being constructed now with foliage and good landscaping in mind unlike in the '80s-'90s when malls were just soulless boxes... concerts are also held here... Last December they had the Philippine Opera Company serenading the public with Christmas carols! :)
